[RL WITH SULU AND MCCOY]--backdated to the 29th

[torchwoodteaboy]

Ianto wasn't sure whether he was grateful that Sulu was able to carry him or not. On one hand, he really couldn't walk without passing out anymore, so he supposed it was really for the best that Sulu was as strong as he was, but at the same time...it was rather embarrassing, to be carried through the hallways of the Enterprise, having people that

Where Ianto may have had doubts and worries about all of this, Sulu had found himself waking up resolute and sure of what was going to happen. The plan was this: Sulu would take Ianto to the medbay, McCoy would snark and chew them out, and then McCoy would fix whatever was going wrong and Ianto would be fine again. He had nothing but good things to say about his CMO and, in all honesty, if there was anyone he trusted to be able to handle this, it was him

McCoy looked up from his goddamn paperwork when he heard the main sickbay doors open. He could just see through the crack in his office door. Ah, Sulu and his friend. Ianto, Sulu's admirer.

Judging by the tenderness in Sulu's movements, the admiration didn't just go one way. Hell, looked like Sulu brought his boyfriend back from the dead. He didn't begrudge either kid their happiness, and he was in fact pleased for Sulu, who could use some company. But could this get any messier?!

McCoy got up from his desk, rubbing his aching back, and headed out to see them. "Hello, there," he said briskly, peering up to check the biobed readings. "I'm McCoy, as you know. Let's see what we can do for you, Ianto."

His eyebrows shot up as he took in one particular reading, but all he did -- for now -- was throw an exasperated glance Sulu's way. How long had they waited before coming in?!

Ianto raised an eyebrow at Sulu at the idea of him carrying Sulu anywhere. Maybe it was just because he was feeling so weak at the time, but he really didn't know if he could do things like that, even so. He wasn't really one of the strong, carrying people around when they needed to get from place to place types, after all. He was more of the...go elsewhere to get someone or something that could do the job for him types instead

Sulu was completely and honestly humbled under McCoy's glances - well, at least he was very good at looking humbled. Truthfully, the majority of this had been out of his hands, and like he'd told McCoy before - Ianto was the one who had held off on telling Sulu how bad it was. If Sulu had known, McCoy would have no doubt met Ianto before he'd even arrived on the community.

Still, when Ianto started doing very well on being humble on his own, Sulu couldn't help but smile a little. Truthfully, Sulu would have been more surprised if McCoy had turned down helping Ianto than agreeing. For all his gruffness, Sulu knew McCoy wasn't above helping someone in need. Still, it didn't hurt to show some gratitude. Still... Sulu couldn't make much out of the biobed readings, but the fact that McCoy had given one of them a very perturbed look - he didn't miss that. "I'm sorry I didn't get him in sooner," he said, "But... really, thank you for this."
